Nice to see the Silver/Soul Silver games so high at least . The original is one of my all time favourite games, and the remake for the DS was exceptionally well done and deserves all the high praise it can ever get!

Woo Mario Galaxy. Have the second 1 just ahead of it, but both are spectacular .

Brawl still being ranked so constantly still kinda boggles my mind though lol .

OKAY so I predicted that HGSS, Galaxy, Xenoblade Chronicles and Fire Emblem Awakening would all be in the top 5 and they are but what is the game I'm missing out because I can't think of what it could be for the life of me??

AAA-standard execution, brilliant computer/animé cutscenes, a well-crafted story and cast nothing short of loveable and bubbly. Long Live Donnel! The postgame content is also plentiful and Streetpass continued to supply me with bona-fide badasses from whatever McDonald's I'd just been to fight against regularly.

The most accessable and replayable entry in the series to date, this game basically has all the series highlights and addictive gameplay in one package. You'll become attached to characters like Tharja, Lucina, and Donnel as you try and finish the game without any perma deaths while also trying to create an army of super soldiers with the relationship system.

...which means, in first place, the gold medal winner and ONM Forums Game of the Forever, IS...

Then I played the remake, and loved it even more than I remembered. The only complaint is the length, with everything else being perfect, and this is one of maybe 3 games I can say with confidence I have 100% completed

KingoftheSocks wrote:I'll be honest now, I'm not a fan of the Legend of Zelda games, well all except one, Wind Waker held my interest far better than any of the other LoZ games I've played, whether it was the grand soundtrack, the gorgeously visuals or its different feel to the other LoZ games I don't know but it is the exception to rule for me in terms of LoZ games and it's definitely one of my favourite games to date.

wiill 64 wrote:The first Zelda game that I ever played. Creeping through the Forsaken Fortress, returning colour to and awakening the sunken Hyrule, swinging from Valoo's tail to defeat a boss, all memorable moments from the Zelda game that quite possible has the most charm and character in the entire series.

This is the only Zelda game I have played that has made me feel a real sense of adventure; sailing on the Great Sea with that music accompanying it is just so epic. The game is also well paced; I never felt like the dungeons went on for too long. One of the best stories in Zelda as well, it's the only to ever make Ganon feel human and relate-able.

Yes, Wind Waker takes it home. In a fitting end, the winner of the first Top 100 back in 2009 becomes the winner of it's final rendition here in 2014.

Final thoughts and other stuff coming in a little bit, I need a drink.

Now that it's over, I can say I was pretty happy with how this list turned out. Last year after some early jostling it became very clear that Brawl was going to walk it despite the attempts at rigging. This time it could've gone to any of those top five. I didn't expect Fire Emblem to go up in the ranks and almost pip Zelda to the gold, and having multiple non-Nintendo's in the top ten was great (especially Persona 4 as I adore that game). So while there were less voters than I hoped for (under 100, darnit), as a final list we could've done much worse.

Thanks to everybody who voted in and commented on this, you guys are the best and why I've loved being an ONMer these past eight years. Peace out. <3

Thanks so much for putting this together Slazo. I think this list will influece my buying choices.

Close to the top of the list, there were a lot of Njntendo games. Does this speak to the notion that Nintendo make the best games, or does it just mean that we're mostly biased to Nintendo in some way? (But then again sonm did stem from a ninty forum)

Yeah, no-one was ever going to say the top 10 were a faultless list regardless but it's a decent top 100 regardless of positions on the whole. FEA I can't help fills its spot because it's recent and one of the 3DS's big games so far but we'll see where it goes next time I guess.

Oh cool, I both started off and ended the list. I guess that's a thing then

Overall, I'm pretty happy with this list. It's a shame that Sunshine isn't in this list, and I wish that Okami would be a bit higher (the top ten would have been cool), but Wind Waker is deserving of the win; it's a bloody fantastic game.

Props to Slazo for the list.
